Method and apparatus for detecting and measuring conditions affecting color

ABSTRACT

A method and apparatus for determining the condition of a test subject based on color uses a color measuring instrument to detect change in a color factor indicative of a condition such as a disease, spoilage, ageing, etc. A medical condition such as bilirubinemia that affects skin color can be detected. One measures color factors such as Hunter b and L in the subjects&#39; skin color. For predetermined ranges of one color factor, in particular L, changes in the other color factor, e.g. Hunter b, above predetermined levels are indicative of the medical condition. In many cases, a single measurement of the color factors can be utilized as a warning of the likelihood of the medical or contaminated condition, if the ordinary range of the color factor is known for healthy individuals with skin coloration like that of the test subject. Even if there has been no baseline measurement and the test subject&#39;s color is such that a single reading of one or two color factors will not warn of the possible presence of the medical condition or contamination, sequential readings can indicate the presence or absence of the condition based upon changes in the measured color factor, or lack of changes. The color measuring techniques apply to a wide range of biological test subjects (e.g. hair, teeth, tissue, excretions, foods, soil, animals, plants). Methods and apparatus for determining accurate hair color classifications and appropriate coloring agents to bring about a selected change of color include a table of hair color classifications, a color measuring instrument to arrive at Hunter L, a and b for use in identifying a particular classification from the table and a database that identifies appropriate coloring agents based on a selection of coloring actions from a menu and the classifications of hair color.

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to a method and apparatus for the detection and/or measurement of a condition that affects the color of a test subject, and more particularly to a process and instrument for measuring at least one color characteristic or factor of a test subject indicative of the condition of interest such as biological condition or hair coloration.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Visual observation of a subject for changes in coloration indicative of a particular condition has often occurred. The subject may be a person or animal being observed to determine the presence or absence of a medical condition. The color characteristics or a single color characteristic of other test subjects such as biopsy specimens or excretions have diagnostic value.

An individual person's skin color is often assessed by her or his doctor. Hypertension, tuberculosis, sclerosis of the liver, to name just a few, are examples of ailments with symptomatic skin color changes among at least a sizeable population segment. Hair color evaluation and dental coloration evaluation are valuable. These may bear on the health of the individual, or on the health of the individual's hair and teeth, or these may permit accurate cosmetic activities, for example, to counteract graying or to accurately match new dental work to existing teeth.

Likewise, the condition of plants and agricultural products is visually inspected for color as an indication of condition. Contamination of soil is likewise apparent from visual inspection. Such visual inspections are subjective. Measuring by instrument the color characteristics that are key to the visual inspection has the benefit of objectivity and consistency.

In the past, hyperbilirubinemia in newborns has been detected by visually observing an individual for jaundice or by routinely taking and testing a blood sample. Upon detection, hyperbilirubinemia has been treated by phototherapy. During the course of phototherapy, blood samples have been taken and tested at regular intervals until it was determined that the level of serum bilirubin had decreased to an acceptable level.

In infants, there is little blood available for use in the blood testing for hyperbilirubinemia. So much blood is drawn that transfusions are often necessary to replace the drawn blood. The newborn is thereby exposed to all of the risks that transfusions bring. Blood sampling and transfusions are, of course, painful to the newborn, and as with any invasive procedure, both present medical risks, such as for example, risk of infection. There is a need, therefore, for a reliable, noninvasive technique for detecting and measuring a skin color affecting medical condition such as hyperbilirubinemia.

This is one example of a wider need for procedures and instruments to objectively and consistently determine a color characteristic or factor indicative of the condition of a test subject or indicative of a particular ailment or condition. The methods and apparatus of this invention can be employed where previously visual inspection, of which examples are given above, have been carried out at least in part on the basis of observable color characteristics.

This invention also relates to a method and apparatus for the categorizing of hair color and hair color treatment agents for their interrelationship, and more particularly to a process and instrument for measuring three color characteristics of hair color and categorizing it and determining the effect of a wide variety of hair coloring agents thereon.

Hair coloring agent choices are often made by a consumer based on relatively vague indications of the color to be expected as a result of the use of the agent on an individual person's hair. This approach does not take into consideration the color of the hair that is to be treated and how interaction of that particular individual's hair color with the coloring agent will affect the resultant color.

No reliable source of information has been available to a private consumer regarding what the actual color of her or his hair is and what hair coloring agent will provide the hair color alteration that consumer seeks.

Consequently it can be seen there exists a need for procedures and apparatus that will accurately characterize an individual's hair color to enable selection of appropriate coloring agents for a desired color result. Likewise there exists a need for a reliable process and instrumentation to permit the use of the accurate color characterization of an individual's hair color in the selection of hair coloring agents to effect hair color alterations of a type desired by the individual.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

According to this invention there is provided a method and apparatus for detecting and quantitatively measuring a condition affecting the color of a test subject. The method includes measuring at least one color characteristic of the subject.

In one exemplary procedure according to this invention at least one skin color characteristic is measured at least at first and second points in time. To test for hyperbilirubinemia, the two measurements are then compared for change. In the preferred procedure a second skin color characteristic is also measured on the basis of which the subject can be assigned to one of plural categories among which varying amounts of change in the first-mentioned skin color characteristic are indicative of the presence of a medical condition. The first characteristic is then observed for a change of measured value sufficient to indicate the medical condition for a subject in that category. Preferably, a base reading of at least the first color characteristic is first made at a time the subject is without characteristic skin coloration indicative of the medical condition for which he or she is to be tested.

In the case of hyperbilirubinemia detection, the first skin color characteristic is Hunter b, which is a color factor dependent on the relative content, in a color, of two opponent colors, yellow and blue. Hunter b is a factor comprising a first function (Y) weighted in a first portion of the spectrum, the yellower portion, a second function (Z) weighted in a second portion of the spectrum, the bluer portion, and a weighting term (1/Y^(1/2)) that is a function of the lightness of a color and that decreases the value of the color factor as lightness increases. Y and Z are part of the three tristimulus values X, Y and Z known to the color scientist for the purpose of defining a color. They are measurable by commercially available instruments such as colorimeters.

In the case of testing newborns for hyperbilirubinemia, readings of Hunter b and the Hunter lightness measure L are made shortly after birth. These can provide the base reading since hyperbilirubinemia does not manifest itself immediately after birth. The first reading is preferably made within five hours, but as soon as possible after birth. Subsequent readings are then made during the next few days. The subsequent readings of Hunter b are compared with the first, baseline reading of Hunter b to determine whether Hunter b has increased to an extent that indicates a degree of jaundice characteristic of hyperbilirubinemia for a person having the range of the subject's particular skin lightness L. L is measured during each subsequent test to be sure that it remains close to the original reading. This gives a degree of confidence that the test procedures are being conducted appropriately.

In the event that the medical condition affecting skin color is detected in a procedure like that described above for hyperbilirubinemia, then the measuring of skin color characteristics continues at regular intervals until the symptomatic color characteristic abates sufficiently to indicate the individual's recovery from the medical condition. In the case of hyperbilirubinemia, phototherapy is administered once a sufficient change in Hunter b is observed to indicate the jaundice of hyperbilirubinemia. Throughout the course of phototherapy, then, the Hunter b and L characteristics are continually monitored until the jaundice has been eliminated. This is valuable in removing the newborn from under the phototherapy lamps, since there is the danger of damage to the newborn's eyes in the event eye protection is prematurely removed or accidentally dislodged.

The apparatus used in accordance with this invention includes a color measuring device such as a calorimeter and computational means for storing and comparing the characteristic or characteristics that are measured when testing for the medical condition. Where Hunter b is measured for the purpose of detecting hyperbilirubinemia, a calorimeter capable of calculating Hunter b and L can be used. This can be a commercially available calorimeter with this capability. The computational means preferably has sufficient memory to store one or more previous readings and should be programmed to compare previous and current readings to detect changes in Hunter b and L. Preferably the colorimeter and the computational means are integrated in a single instrument, but the commercial colorimeter can be utilized in cooperation with, for example, a personal computer, which stores and can compare Hunter b and L values from measurements taken at timed intervals. Likewise, the computational means, whether an integrated part of the instrument or a separate computer, can be used to store ranges of lightness L and the increases in Hunter b that, for the various lightness ranges, indicate an unacceptable increase in serum bilirubin.

In one embodiment Hunter a is also measured. The ordinary range of Hunter a for individuals is known. If Hunter a lies outside the ordinary range the reason for this should be determined. If it is because the infant is flushed from crying or has just been washed and rubbed dry the Hunter a is not an indication of a medical problem. If Hunter a is above the ordinary range, but the infant has not been crying, or recently washed or some other non-medical reason, a circulatory problem could be the reason and bears watching to observe if a medical condition is present or phototherapy is in progress. Also, Hunter a sometimes increases just before the jaundice due to hyperbilirubinemia increasing Hunter b. Hunter a, then, may be a warning for closer observation to observe if a medical condition is present or phototherapy is in progress. A decrease in Hunter a along with an increase in both Hunter L and Hunter b such that the ratio of Hunter L to Hunter b remains essentially constant can mean that the infant is anemic and therefore pale, in which case the increase in Hunter b (with a simultaneous increase in Hunter L) would not be indicative of hyperbilirubinemia. The observation of Hunter a then may suggest various medical conditions and it allows one to understand the Hunter L and b readings better and to be more certain whether they are or are not indicative of hyperbilirubinemia.

Preferably, each skin color characteristic measurement used to assess the presence or absence of the condition for which testing is carried out is actually an average of multiple tests. For example, when newborns are tested for the jaundice that signals hyperbilirubinemia, multiple readings are made at multiple sites. Five or six Hunter value readings are made at, for example, each of several locations which may include some or all of a forehead location, at least one chest location, a cheek location and two back locations. Out of range Hunter L, a and b values are discarded. At each site, the Hunter readings that have the highest and lowest values of L, a and b are discarded, then all of the readings of each Hunter characteristic are averaged for each site. Subsequent readings are made in the same manner at exactly the same sites and compared. As used herein, the terms "Hunter a," "Hunter b," and "Hunter L" include such average values, but are not limited to just the values arrived at by the averaging technique unless expressly so-limited. The discarding and averaging is readily accomplished by the computational provisions of the test equipment. The averaging technique may improve the testing of other than skin color where the testing steps of this invention are used, for example in the evaluation of hair by color measurement.

In skin color testing, it is important to cleanse the site utilizing a cleansing agent that does not contribute any coloration. Likewise, when testing is carried out on test subjects other than an individual's skin, the test subject should be free of any color altering contaminant. In skin color testing, the site on the test subject should be dry, and in all cases the instrument should have the capability of being applied to the site in such a manner that ambient light does not enter the instrument.

In one method according to the invention Hunter L and b are used. Hunter L is monitored for consistency each time measurements are made. The change in Hunter b is monitored for a warning of hyperbilirubinemia. In another method according to the invention Hunter L, a and b are used. Hunter L is monitored for consistency, Hunter b is monitored for a warning of hyperbilirubinemia, and Hunter a is observed for additional information as to the infant's condition.

Determination of the first and second skin color characteristics, Hunter L and b, at just one point in time can indicate or strongly suggest a medical condition affecting skin color if the first characteristic measurement is observed to lie outside a range of values for that characteristic known by experience to be normal for a subject having the particular measured value of the second characteristic. Again the value of Hunter a should be observed and if abnormal the reason should be sought. For example, in many individuals hyperbilirubinemia is strongly suggested if Hunter b and L are measured and it is determined that, based on skin color categories previously observed, Hunter b is above any ordinary value for a subject with skin having the L value measured. Also, even if baseline readings of Hunter b and L (and preferably a) are not made, changes in the value of Hunter b can nevertheless signal the presence of hyperbilirubinemia if measurements of the Hunter values arc made at timed intervals in the foregoing fashion. Out of the ordinary increases in Hunter b, of for example two or more points, can be an indication of hyperbilirubinemia when the measured L value remains in a constant range from one measurement to the next. Similarly, large decreases in Hunter b, of for example two or more points, can be an indication of hyperbilirubinemia from which the infant is recovering, again if L remains relatively constant. If Hunter a changes due to a medical condition such as anemia and the ratio of Hunter L and Hunter b changes, then it is likely necessary to take the anemia into account, for example by using a different change in Hunter b to indicate hyperbilirubinemia or by multiplying Hunter b by a compensatory factor.

Significant testing has established the value of the foregoing techniques in detecting hyperbilirubinemia. The same techniques will indicate other jaundice-producing medical conditions in human and animal subjects. Hepatitis or liver disorders are examples of such medical conditions susceptible to diagnosis with the methods and apparatus of this invention.

Tuberculosis has been observed to affect skin color in dark skinned individuals such as many persons of African descent. Appropriate color measurement in accordance with this invention may provide a valuable diagnostic tool.

Biopsy specimens, body fluids, excretions, etc. are visually inspected for color. The techniques and instrumentation according to this invention can provide objectivity and consistency to such inspections.

According to this invention there is also provided a method and apparatus for accurately characterizing the hair color of individuals to enable identification of the hair color and products suitable to achieve a desired change in hair color, and more particularly to a method and apparatus for measuring color factors in an individual's hair color to assign that hair color to a classification previously determined to interact with identified hair coloring agents to bring about predictable color changes.

Through experimentation over a prolonged period, the applicants were able to compile a vast amount of information relating to coloration of virtually every imaginable hair color. Thousands of individual hair samples were treated with many various coloring agents. The hair color before and after such treatment was accurately, scientifically measured and characterized using known, reliable color measurement. Hair color was then assembled into a large number of categories based on ranges of the measured color factors. A database was assembled comprising the desired changes available through various hair coloring agents and the particular agents that would effect those changes in human hair to the various categories.

Instrumentation was implemented to measure from an individual's hair the color factors that operate to place the hair color in one of the numerous hair color classifications and to identify that classification to the individual or the individual's hair specialist. In addition, the instrumentation was arranged to allow for selection of a desired alteration in hair color, and on the basis of the gathered empirical data, hair coloring agents capable of effecting the desired change were located from within a database.

In an embodiment of the invention, the process for hair color analysis is carried out by measuring with a measuring instrument the value of a number of color factors in the color of an individual's hair at various sites, and then providing an indicator or table having a large number of hair color classifications defining ranges of those same color factors, and finally comparing the color factors of the indicator or table to the measured color factors to arrive at a classification of the individual's hair color.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention just described the color factors were Hunter L, a and b.

In an instrumentation implementing the process just described, a colorimeter was used to measure the color factors. The indicator or table having a large number of color classifications was retained in computer memory, and the comparison was made electronically between the memory retained classifications and the measured color factors.

To use the process just described a list or menu of possible choices for varying hair color was presented. Upon selection of that choice, along with the hair color classification as previously determined, is used together with a database of hair color classifications and associated product identifications empirically determined to effect the presented choices of color changes to locate in that database previously tested hair coloring agents capable of effecting the chosen action.

In one further embodiment of the process described, the color factors measured in an individual's hair color were Hunter L, a and b. Classifications of hair color provided in the indicator or table were percentages of grey in the hair of the individual. This embodiment enables the coloring of grey hair or partially grey hair to obtain an individual's natural hair coloring or another preferred hair color. This procedure required the selection of one of a number of categories of hair colors such as "light brown," "darkest blond," "light red," etc. The indicator or table that identified various hair color classifications was divided among broad hair color families or groups of categories, and for an individual the particular hair family division of the indicator associated with that individual's broad family of hair color was found. The ranges of color factors in that division were then compared with the factors measured in the individual's hair to arrive at a classification.

In another embodiment of the invention, to arrive at a hair color treatment agent, a database of hair color treatment agents and classifications of color characteristics of individuals was compiled and an individual's color characteristics were determined by measurement of color factors, followed by comparison of those color factors with ranges contained in the database. In one embodiment the color characteristic of the individual that provided the basis for comparison was skin color.

The above and further advantages of this invention will be better understood with reference to the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments taken in combination with the attached drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

Any modern version of two general types of color-measuring instruments, colorimeters and spectrophotometers, is an example of instruments suitable for the skin color measurement or hair color measurement according to preferred embodiments of this invention. The basic components of either type of instrument are a light source, a sample illumination and viewing arrangement, a means of selecting certain wavelengths of light for the measurement, a detector of the light reflected from the sample, and some relatively simple computing capacity. In commercially available instruments the main purposes of the computing capacity are to store and apply calibration information and to calculate various color coordinates for later use. In FIGS. 1 and 4, such color measuring instruments 10 are illustrated. An individual person's skin or hair 11 is illuminated by the instrument as generally indicated by the broken line arrow 12, and the instrument receives illumination reflected from the skin or hair 11 as generally indicated by the broken line arrow 13. Based on the illumination received by reflection from the skin or hair, the instrument 10 develops the coordinates Y, x and y. In FIGS. 1 and 4, the instrument 10 is a colorimeter, commercially available and suitable for development of the values Y, x and y. The instrument of FIG. 1 is particularly well suited for biological testing, such as in testing newborns for hyperbilirubinemia. The instrument of FIG. 4 is particularly well suited for methods associated with measuring hair coloration.

Another type of instrument that can be used in the skin color categorization methods according to this invention is the spectrophotometer that measures the reflectance at discrete wavelengths and from these data derives tristimulus values, from which can be computed the Hunter color values used to measure the color of a specimen (i.e., hair or skin) for diagnostic purposes as discussed below.

Important to the use of a commercial colorimeter of the kind employed for the color measurement instrument 10 of FIGS. 1 and 4 is the calibration of the instrument using a standard. In the early use of an instrument of this kind by the inventors, the "Light Skin" sample from the Macbeth Color Checker, described in the publication of C. S. McCamy, H. Marcus, and J. G. Davidson, "A Color-Rendition Chart," J. Appl. Photogr. Eng. 2, 95-99 (1976) was used. A tile of this approximate color was selected for its greater durability as an instrument standard. It was found, however, that the use of the "Light Skin" painted paper as the primary standard did not adequately avoid the phenomenon known as metamerism, by which objects that look alike (have the same perceived color) under some kinds of light sources, or to some observers, do not match under other types of light sources, or to other observers. By this phenomenon calorimeters may not read their colors the same as the average human observer would under the daylight type light source usually employed for visual observation, hence leading to an error in colorimeter calibration.

As an improved primary standard, the skin of a subject whose skin color measurements were highly reproducible, and in the approximate center of the range of skin colors of the human population was selected. The spectral reflectance factors of the skin of this subject were carefully measured on a Macbeth 1500 Plus spectrophotometer (Macbeth, New Windsor, N.Y.); these data are given in column 2 (second from left) of Table I at the wavelengths listed in column 1 (the leftmost column). By using well-established techniques of computer color matching, carried out on an ACS 1800 system equipped with an ACS SpectroSensor II color measuring instrument (Datacolor International, Lawrenceville, N.J.), a colorant formulation matching this skin color was developed. The spectral reflectance factors for this match are given in column 3 of Table I. It may be seen that the data closely match those of column 2, indicating the absence of metamerism. Calculations according to the CIE 1976 CIELAB system showed that the two data sets match to within 0.27-0.36 units, less than can be perceived by human color vision, for daylight, incandescent light, and cool white fluorescent light, the three most commonly used light sources for the proposed applications.

The above-mentioned formulation was made up in a stable, durable material, and tiles were prepared as instrument standards. The spectral reflectance factors of one of these tiles are given in column 4 of Table I. It was found, however, that the improvement in calibration resulted in color coordinates that were significantly different from those obtained in the many studies made with the earlier system. A decision was made to adjust the calibration values of the new tiles in order to achieve consistent results between the new and old methods of calibration. Column 5 of Table I gives the adjusted set of spectral reflectance factors for the tile of column 4.

With a suitable standard, basically, calibration is carried out by forcing the colorimeter 10 to give the desired color coordinates Y, x and y mentioned above, while utilizing the colorimeter with the standard tile chosen. The method of calibration is known for particular instruments and follows a series of steps prescribed by the manufacturer that need not be detailed here.

In skin color testing, prior to each test of a subject, each test site is cleansed. A cleansing agent, such as isopropyl alcohol, which leaves behind no coloration, is suitable. In hair color analysis, prior to each test of a subject the subject's hair should be free of dirt. The site is well dried to avoid any wetness which may interfere with the reflection of light from the skin or hair 11 to the instrument 10. In all cases of testing, with the instrument correctly calibrated, the measuring head or instrument orifice is placed against the test site to be measured. Care is taken to avoid the admission of ambient light to the instrument. Pressing the instrument head firmly against the measurement site prevents the entry of ambient light. Additionally, it was determined that best results are obtained if one removes the instrument from the test site briefly, between illuminations. This can be provided for in software by a conventional delaying routine and, if desired, with an appropriate display instructing the user to remove the instrument briefly well away from the skin or hair.

In a calorimeter of the type shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, at block 10 the instrument has an internal microprocessor or other computing capability so that it is able to develop the color coordinates Y, x and y from the measured values X, Y and Z (Y being the same in each case). Certain calorimeters develop the Hunter color coordinates L, a, and b. Since the degree of computation that the color measuring device 10 (i.e. colorimeter or spectrophotometer) internally performs varies, the manner of calculating the Hunter values from the tristimulus coordinates is useful to an understanding and practice of the invention and will enable correct use of a CPU by appropriate calculation to perform the invention with any commercially available colorimeter or spectrophotometer. Most modern color measuring instruments begin with measurement of the tristimulus values X, Y, and Z. From these can be derived the CIE chromaticity coordinates x and y:

    x=X/(X+Y+Z)                                                (1)

    y=Y/(X+Y+Z)                                                (2)

The instrument 10 of FIG. 1 or 4 outputs the triplet of values x, y and Y as the starting point for further calculations by a central processing unit which can be dedicated microprocessor circuitry or personal computer 15. The remaining two tristimulus values X and Z are available by computation as follows:

    X=xY/y, and                                                (3)

    Z=(1-x-y)Y/y                                               (4)

In one preferred embodiment for measurement of biological samples, the CPU according to FIG. 1 develops the Hunter value b discovered in accordance with this invention to be capable of use to detect and monitor hyperbilirubinemia. In another preferred embodiment for hair measurement, the CPU according to FIG. 4 develops the Hunter values L, a, and b. The Hunter L, b and a values are the three values derived by Richard S. Hunter in 1958. Richard S. Hunter, "Photoelectric Color Difference Meter," J. Opt. Soc. Am. 48, 985-995 (1958). The equations for these are:

    L=10 (Y).sup.1/2                                           (5)

    a=17.5 (1.02X-Y)/Y.sup.1/2                                 (6)

    b=7.0 (Y-0.847 Z)/Y.sup.1/2                                (7)

where L is a lightness coordinate whose values correlate better with the visual perceptions of the lightness of object colors than do values of Y; a is a coordinate denoting redness or greenness, for which positive values denote that the color is red rather than its opponent color green, and negative values of a denote the opposite; and b is a yellowness-blueness coordinate, for which positive values denote that the color is yellow rather than the opponent color blue, and negative values of b denote the opposite. For yellow colors, starting with a=b=0 and an appropriate high value of L, which would be a light grey, increasing positive values of b result in a series of colors that may be described as light yellowish grey, pale yellow, light yellow, brilliant yellow and vivid yellow, in turn. Thus b is a measure of the "intensity" of the yellow color.

Historically, all three Hunter values, a, b and L, have been utilized to describe a color. The inventors have determined that one can use the Hunter skin lightness measure L and comparative determinations of the Hunter value b developed at time intervals to measure the jaundice that is symptomatic of hyperbilirubinemia and by that measurement of jaundice detect the presence or absence of the ailment. The coordinate b provides a reliable measure of the yellow undertone of the color of human skin. This does not mean that Hunter a and Hunter L should be ignored, but they are not used in the usual way to define a color. In the particular arrangement of FIGS. 1 and 4, wherein the calorimeter 10 produces the values Y, x, y, the computer 15 derives the Hunter values L and b. The Hunter lightness skin color characteristic L affects the amount of increase in the yellow measure Hunter b that indicates hyperbilirubinemia. Following the procedure represented in FIG. 2, steps 1 to 4 and preferably using an averaging technique described below, a newborn is measured, preferably within 2-5 hours of birth, to establish the initial, baseline values of Hunter L and b, L₀ and b₀ The values are recorded, step 5, for example by placement in machine memory 17. (A baseline Hunter a, a₀, may be calculated at this time, too, for the purposes explained below and out of range values are discarded, i.e. 20>L>80, 2>a>50 and 2>b>40. Thereafter, again preferably using the averaging technique described below, throughout the next several days, Hunter L and b are measured at intervals as represented by step 6 of FIG. 2. L is compared to the value originally measured as indicated at step 7. It should not vary more than 3 to 5 points (depending on the range of L being measured) or the test is discontinued as at step 8. Otherwise, Hunter b is compared at step 9 to the baseline value established shortly after birth. As determined at step 10, if Hunter L remains consistent, if at any time Hunter b increases two points or more for skins with L values at or below approximately 51 or three points or more for skins with L values above approximately 51, then hyperbilirubinemia is indicated, a confirming blood test should be conducted, and phototherapy, the usual treatment for this condition, may be prescribed. Hunter b increases of one to two points for L values at or below approximately 51 and Hunter b increases of two to three points for L values above approximately 51 can be used as red flags or warning signs requiring closer monitoring.

When the measured value of Hunter L at any time is found to have varied more than 3-5 points the test procedure is suspect and the test may be discontinued. Hunter L variations of this magnitude do not ordinarily occur in skin color measurement. Unless this change can be explained by a change in the condition of the subject (such as anemia or phototherapy treatment, which would lighten the subjects entire skin color measurement and range, but in direct ratio of L and b) the test would be suspect and in which case an adjustment factor would be used to calculate L and b.

During phototherapy too, the testing procedure according to this invention can be used with an adjustment factor for the lightening of the skin color while under the phototherapy lights.

As indicated, it has been the inventors' practice to require the additional measurement of Hunter a at each testing. This is illustrated in FIG. 3. Again the averaging technique is preferably used as described below. Based upon the testing of the skin color of several million individuals, the inventors have identified some 210 broad categories of skin coloration. That is to say, 210 broad ranges of Hunter L, a and b have been identified. Hunter L and b values for each of these categories are shown in Table II, set forth below. Table III, below, provides the ranges of Hunter a reasonably to be expected. For certain values of L, Hunter a above a particular value has not typically been observed. Should the test indicate a Hunter a outside any previously observed range for a particular L and b, this would be taken as at least a further indication of some disorder in a condition of the subject if the Hunter a value cannot otherwise be accounted for, e.g. from crying or drying after bathing. This occurrence is represented at step 7 of FIG. 3, which drawing figure represents the steps in the hyperbilirubinemia test that includes the measurement and comparison of Hunter a.

The measurement of Hunter a can have the further value of a warning that the jaundice associated with hyperbilirubinemia may shortly occur since, at times Hunter a will increase in value just before Hunter b increases.

If, then, an infant has not been crying (which boosts Hunter a), and an increase in Hunter a is observed, Hunter b bears watching for signs of hyperbilirubinemia.

For greater accuracy, multiple Y, x and y readings are made with the colorimeter 10 at several different sites, for example at one or more locations on some or all of the subject's forehead, cheek, chest or back, as suggested in the steps of the method outlined in FIG. 2. In a preferred embodiment 5 or 6 readings at 5 different sites are made. Hunter a, b and L values are calculated for each reading. The high and low values of a, b, and L from each site are discarded, the computer 15 then averages all of the remaining values of Hunter a, b and L for each site. The average a, b and L thus calculated for each site are then used as the Hunter b and L values in the previously described testing for bilirubinemia. If Hunter a is out of range for the site measured, this can also be an indicator of some disorder in the condition of a subject.

Some variation of b value occurs in dependence on the body location where readings are taken. Consistently averaging the values of Hunter a, b and L calculated from measurements taken at the same several locations on each individual can be used to eliminate any uncertainty resulting from such variations. The consistent measurement of consistent sites is essential throughout the entire procedure.

A hospital's measure of serum bilirubin typically uses a scale different from the measure of Hunter b detected by the above procedure. In extensive tests at one hospital, a linear relation was observed between serum bilirubin measured using the hospital's scale and the Hunter b measurement according to the invention. In that hospital 12 was the serum bilirubin value that signaled monitoring or treatment of hyperbilirubinemia. Steps 12-15 of FIG. 2 and 13-16 of FIG. 3 calculate the serum bilirubin level from the above procedures and compare it to the determination made by blood test.

Correlation between Hunter b and the hospital bilirubin count (BRC) was determined to be in accordance with the following equation:

    BRC=2.5 ([{47/L}.sup.1/2 b] -6.8)                          (8)

where BRC equals the hospital bilirubin count, the number 47 is the average L for the entire database gathered over the course of research, and L and b are the average Hunter values determined as described above.

The term in braces modifies b according to the value L relative to its average, in this case 47, according to a square root (superscript 1/2) function. It may be easier to understand the above equation if it is written another way. If the modified b (in square brackets) is called MODB:

    MODB=6.8+0.4 BRC                                           (9)

The numbers 6.8 and 0.4 (=1/2.5) are, respectively, the intercept and slope of the straight line relation between modified b and BRC. The 6.8 is the value of MODB when BRC =0 and is related to the average baseline skin color. The 0.4 shows how rapidly MODB changes as BRC increases, an increase of 2.5 in BRC raises MODB by one point.

The equation is exemplary only and may vary in detail when applied to a larger database or to bilirubin count values from another hospital since hospitals do not have a standard scale used consistently from one hospital to the next. However, the linear relationship between MODB and BRC indicates relatively straightforward conversion of measured L and b to arrive at a particular hospital's bilirubin count value so that the medical practitioner can employ the optical measurement of jaundice in accordance with this invention in the same way she or he employed bilirubin count previously.

In the system of FIG. 1, following the routine of FIG. 2, from the initial measurement preferably within 2-5 hours of birth, the CPU calculates the initial Hunter values L₀, a₀ and b₀ and stores these in the Baseline Values addresses of the data portion or RAM of memory 17. The data RAM (or nonprogram) portion 18 of the memory 17 is indicated in FIG. 1A. A relatively permanent section 18a of RAM 18 stores the data of Table II (and Table III if Hunter a is to be checked) and data such as the ranges of L that establish categories of skin coloration for which varying Hunter b value changes are significant.

A more often revised memory segment stores the results of the measurements performed with the instrument. Based on a relatively straightforward program retained in the permanent ROM memory, from the measurements taken at intervals, the CPU calculates the new values of L, a, and b (or L and b to follow the procedure of FIG. 2), retrieves L₀, a₀ and b₀, and subtracts those from the new value L₁, a₁, and b₁. The change in Hunter L, a and b, ΔL, Δa and Δb, can be displayed, or preferably, the CPU determines if the change in L indicates an error by comparing the change in L to that value, stored in the RAM 18 of the memory 17, that raises the suspicion of test error. If there is no suspicion of error, then the CPU determines whether an increase in b is above the value, again stored in memory, that indicates monitoring or treatment of hyperbilirubinemia for the particular value of L that has been measured. Similarly, for an infant that has previously been diagnosed with hyperbilirubinemia and is undergoing phototherapy, the same order of decrease to within 2 or 3 points of baseline, depending on L, can indicate recovery and phototherapy may be ended. The CPU memory 17 can be provided with Table II, or another compilation of the categories of skin coloration, which the CPU then can use as a look-up table to determine if Hunter a has a value outside of previously observed ranges for the particular Hunter L and b. Also, if desired, the CPU can calculate and display the hospital's measure of serum bilirubin based upon changes in Hunter b, for example by applying equation 8 above.

Even in the absence of an initial reading, based on observed ranges of skin coloration, measurement of either Hunter L and b or L, a and b can warn of the likelihood of hyperbilirubinemia if a Hunter b value is measured that is in excess of Hunter b ordinarily observed for subjects with that value of L. Hunter b values exceeding those ordinarily observed for individuals in a particular range of Hunter L values can be determined by reference to Table II. For example, it will be apparent that no individual whose skin has a Hunter L value between 24 and 26 has measured above 13 in Hunter b. Such a measurement may be used to determine that a blood test is advisable. In all instances, however, even where there has not been a Hunter b baseline established, an increase over time of 2, 3 or more Hunter b points indicates the likelihood of hyperbilirubinemia, and if the change is a decrease, this is indicative of a recovering newborn.

Table IV is an actual set of measurements made on a three day old infant. Using the averaging technique described above, Hunter L of 48.0 and Hunter b of 11.1 is calculated. Converting to the hospital bilirubin count in the equation (9) above, a bilirubin count of 10.5 was calculated.

The invention can afford good evidence of jaundice resulting from medical conditions other than hyperbilirubinemia. Liver disorders in adults and children produce jaundice, for example. These and other skin color characteristics can be factors in diagnosing additional diseases that affect skin color. It has been observed, for example that at least among dark skinned individuals, such as African Americans or others of African descent, skin color is affected by tuberculosis.

The application of the method and apparatus is not limited to the jaundice-related testing described above. Experiments with rhesus monkeys have shown a correlation between hormone levels and the coloration of the female monkey's very visible reddened hind end. An instrument like that described above was able to distinguish varying levels of reddening in an individual test subject's posterior using Hunter a and Hunter L in a similar fashion to that described above. The hormone level of the subject was thus indicated by the methods and apparatus of this invention.

Successful experimentation has begun on the evaluation of the condition of laboratory mice based upon the use of Hunter a and Hunter L in a similar fashion to that described above.

In addition to diagnostic use, test procedures and instruments according to this invention can be used to determine how to restore the hair to its natural color, or with reference to the categories of Table V or VI, hair that has changed in color by greying or by bleaching or dying can be restored to a more natural appearance, whether the test subject's original coloring or a chosen color consistent with the limitation of the categories identified in Table V or VI. In the particular arrangement of FIG. 4, wherein the calorimeter 10 produces the values Y, x and y, the computer 15 derives the Hunter values L, a and b. Following the procedure represented in FIG. 5, the calorimeter is calibrated as described above. The values of Y, x and y are measured for each of multiple sites on the subject's hair. Preferably the top, each side, the back of the subject's head, the color of the hair at the roots and at its ends, are measured. Three measurements are taken at each site and are averaged to arrive at an Y, x and y for each site and, from the average for each site, Hunter L, a and b for each site are calculated.

The following discussion references tables VI through XII. Due to their length, those tables are produced at the end of the specification for the sake of clarity.

The values of Hunter L, a and b are compared to the values of Hunter L, a and b of the color categories 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 etc. of the Hair Categories table of Table VI. This, then, identifies the category of the subject's hair coloring at each of the measured sites. Each Hair Category in the table of Table VI has in association with it the hair color name, such as Black-Cool, Darkest Dark Brown-Cool, etc., an identification of one or more manufacturer's "Levels" which are commonly indicated upon a manufacturer's product to indicate products recommended for individuals with particular hair color. In other words, the identification of hair category or classification can also indicate to the subject or the subject's hair specialist the designation or level that the subject should seek out in a particular manufacturer's line of products. The Hair Categories illustrated in Table VI may further identify for the subject or his or her specialist the pigment designation given by the manufacturers to the particular color.

The hair color categories for the several measured sites, then, can be used by the subject or her or his hair specialist to allow for accurate assessment of the hair color to be dyed and to choose product for hair coloring. As will be appreciated, the category or classification may vary from site to site and this will inform the subject or specialist whether it will be necessary to use varying products or longer or shorter periods of application at varying sites to achieve a hair coloration desired. In other words, dark roots might be treated differently than light ends.

In accordance with the further method according to FIG. 6, a hair coloring agent recommendation is made to achieve a subject's desired coloration change. Once having determined the correct color categories for each measured site, a menu of possible actions (Table VII) affecting hair color is displayed and one such action in chosen by the subject or hair specialist. Using that selection and the hair color category, a database (Table VIII) is consulted as indicated at step 7 and at step 8 products are identified from Table IX of a given manufacturer that will accomplish the sought-after result.

The menu of hair color action choices available in step 6 is listed in Table VII.

The database used in step 7 to arrive at a particular product that will effect the chosen hair color option for the particular person's hair category is shown in Table VIII. Certain codes in this appendix that are used by this database require explanation. The same 75 hair color categories 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., and category names as appear in Table VI are listed under the heading "Category Name." Also under "Category Name" the Category Group, A, B, C, D, etc. is designated as in Table VI. Next, the ranges of Hunter L, a and b defining the category appear. Under the heading "CW Level" one of four levels of cool to warm is listed. In these the numeral "1" is coolest, "2" is a border color on the cool side of the cool-warm boundary, "3" is a warm color on the warm side of the cool-warm boundary, and "4" is a warm color. The "Level" column lists again the product manufacturer's "Level" designations like those listed in Table VI.

In the database illustrated in Table VIII, two manufacturers are listed for each category. Opposite each appears a series of numbers such as -1:01 -2:01 +1:02 +2:02. In each of these numbers the first digit represents an action which may be chosen from the menu of hair color options. For example in -1:01, the number "-1" making hair color slightly darker. The number "-2" means "darker," which is somewhat more darkening than "slightly darker." The number "+1" means "slightly lighter" and the number "+2" means "lighter," e.g. somewhat more lightening than "slightly lighter." The number after the (:), "01," is a direction to go to category group A. In category Group A, then, are identified the manufacturer products of :011. An index, listed in Table IX, identifies products of each manufacturer. These are the products that will have the desired effect.

From the database of Table VIII it will be seen, then, that, for example, to darken hair of Categories 2, 3, 4 and S, "01" appears, making reference to Category Group A1.

The database appended as Table VIII was developed empirically by, first, measuring the Hunter L, a and b of an enormous number of sample hairs from the numerous Categories, then applying the colorants of the manufacturers to these hairs and again measuring the Hunter L, a and b to determine the color change effect of the hairs thus colored. This was done as well for the lighter ends of these hairs and for darker roots. This was also done for greying hair for use in the grey hair program described below. In this fashion the database of Table VIII was built.

Turning to the block diagram of FIG. 7, characterization of greying hair can be accomplished, following calibration of the instrument at step one, by selecting one's natural color from the following List Of Natural Hair Color Options. (Table X).

Again, at step three Y, x and y for the natural hair is identified, either by measurement at a natural hair color site on the individual or by the individual's identifying hair swatches considered to be his or her natural color. From Y, x and y, Hunter L, a and b--three measure ments are taken and then averaged to reach average Hunter L, a and b, or in the case of the swatch this may already have been done so that Hunter L, a and b for the swatch is known.

Further sites containing grey are then measured at step 4 to arrive at Y, x and y for these additional sites, which again may be the sides, top, back of the head, roots and ends.

The same procedure is followed with three measurements per site to reach average Y, x and y for each site and thereafter calculating average L, a and b for each site. With the Hunter L, a and b for natural hair and the Hunter L, a and b for the greying hair determined, the table entitled "Calculation of Percentage of Grey Hair." Table XI, is consulted, which defines the grey hair categories on the basis of percentage of grey.

The percentage grey thus identified is displayed and this represents the category for an individual with greying hair. This characterization is used similarly to the previously described characterization or category of the table of hair categories shown in Table V or VI.

In FIG. 8 the use of the grey hair identification as just described in a procedure for identifying colorants to achieve a desired result is indicated. After calibration of the instrument as described, the steps previously discussed in connection with FIG. 7 are followed to identify the category of greying hair. Then, at step 7 from the menu of options appearing in Table VII, a selection of one of the 35 choices is made. With that, now the database of Table VIII can be used in exactly the same manner as described previously. That is to say, the category of hair is found, the option selected is chosen as -1, -2, +1 or +2. The Category Group designator, 01, 02, 03, etc. is used to identify the appropriate category family to go to and in that category family is found the identifier of manufacturer's hair colorants that will produce the desired result which is found in Table IX.

In FIG. 9 a method of using an indicator table to choose hair coloring agents for compatibility with skin coloration entails taking 5 measurements for the subjects right cheek and calculating Y, x and y, following calibration of the instrument. Out of range readings are discarded prior to calculation of Hunter L, a and b based on the remaining three averaged Y, x and y readings. Using the value of Hunter b at step 5 it is determined whether the skin tone type is less than 11.5 and consequently cool or equal to or higher than 11.5 and therefore warm. Using this cool or warm designation, Table XI is consulted to arrive at hair color recommendations.

Table XI is developed by assessment of Hunter b in the products listed to assess the warmness or coolness of those products and products are recommended that have the same proportion of yellow to blue as does the measured skin color.

In FIG. 4 the calorimeter 10 provides Y, x and y to the computer 15. The computer's memory 17 is divided into RAM and ROM.

In the system of FIG. 4, following the routine of FIG. 5, the CPU or central processing unit of the computer calculates the Hunter values L, a and b and stores these at selected addresses of the data portion or RAM state of memory 17. The data RAM (or nonprogram) portion 18 of the memory 17 is indicated in FIG. 4A. A relatively permanent section 18a of RAM 18 stores the data of Table VI. A more often revised memory segment stores the results of the measurements performed with the instrument. Based on a relatively straightforward program retained in the permanent ROM memory, from the measurements taken at intervals, the CPU calculates new values of L, a and b. The CPU compares these to the L, a and b values in Table VI and indicates the appropriate hair color category from Table VI, for example on the display 20.

To perform the procedure according to FIG. 6, the RAM memory 18 also contains the information of the menu of options in Table VII. These are called up and displayed at display 20 and, using an input device such as a keyboard 22 or a mouse, a selection is made. The selection in retained in the more temporary portion 18b of the RAM 18.

The CPU consults the Table VIII database, in the more permanent RAM section 18a and pulls up the appropriate manufacturer's product identifications in Table IX, for the choice of menu items and the hair color category. These are displayed on the display 20.

To accomplish the procedure of FIG. 7 the RAM 18 retains the Table VI information which includes the greying hair categories 61 to 68 and the Table XI information giving the manner of arriving at percentage of grey hair. The CPU inquires of the user via the display or measurement and is given the natural hair color via the input. The CPU uses the Hunter L, a and b values and Table VI to determine Color Category or if Table VI does not yield a category the Table XI information is employed with L to arrive at a Category using Table XI. The category is displayed.

To perform the procedures of FIG. 8, the CPU determines the category-percentage of grey hair as above, from either Table VI or Table XI. The menu of selections, Table VII is displayed and a choice is indicated. Using the choice and the category identified, the Table VIII database is used to indicate a group or "file" of manufacturer's products in Table IX, which are then displayed on the display 20.

For the choice of hair coloring agent based on skin color the CPU determines if Hunter b is above or below 11.5 and based on this available selections from Table XII are chosen and displayed.

In much the same way as described for hair and skin coloration, tooth coloration can be assessed by this invention and the techniques described can be used to arrive at a natural coloring of replacement dental work consistent with existing or replacement teeth.

Plant and crop specimens are good candidates for the application of the procedures and apparatus of the invention. For example, conditions leading to the degradation of grain stored in silos are observable based upon color change. Determination of these conditions by instrument is made possible by the techniques of the present invention, and this opens the way to automated monitoring for this purpose. Soil samples from oil spills when measured by these procedures and apparatus indicate the degree of soil contamination by oil or gasoline. Testing of such soil contamination has been successfully conducted. Biological test subjects of a great variety can be tested by means of the present invention.

Such test subjects include, for example, hair, teeth, tissue, excretions, foods, soils, animals and plants.

From the foregoing it should be apparent that the methods and apparatus described are exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of protection of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.

    MODB=6.8+0.4 BRC;

and whereby the relation between the value that is substantially that of Hunter b and BRC is:

    BRC=2.5 ([{47/L}.sup.1/2 b]-6.8).
